Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Globalization and social networks, among others, have changed the way of moving around the world and sharing spaces. The immediacy of the call effect makes tourism concentrate in fashionable destinations which, in many cases, are not prepared to absorb the influx of people without provoking a visual impact on their environments. This is the case of suburban and rural areas with a high landscape value. In many cases, the legislation is a step behind. Planners need objective tools which allow regulating the sustainable use of these landscapes, permitting at the same time local and economic development. New GIS technologies, 3D visualization tools for the simulation of scenarios, and surveys of public participation, among others, are some of the research techniques placed at the service of this purpose. Projects related to these methodologies and techniques, as well as practical cases of application, will be of interest in this Special Issue for policymakers, planners, landowners, and stakeholders.
